Yesterday I went to a local woodworking store to buy magnetic feather boards. When I went in a man and his wife were their and I waited for them to complete their business before they helped me. After they left, they told me that they just bought a Saw Stop. Tjhe the store manager told me that they now sell more Saw Stop table saws than all the other brands put together. He then said that when a man and his wife come into the store to buy a table saw, they always buy a Saw Stop. He also mentioned that they sell a lot of cartridges, and some times have a hard time keeping them in stock.
The Saw Stop may have weakened Delta enough to cause it to be bought by Stanley.

The report that started all of this claimed that four out of five table saw accidents were caused by contact with the blade. Less than one out of five injuries were due to kick-back. So, the Saw Stop would prevent the rather large majority of these injuries. The SawStop will not prevent accidents, it will prevent injuries. If you read the blog, the accidence were mainly due to a split second loss of judgment, not because someone was trying to use their table saw to free-hand cut a coconut. The SawStop is merely insurance, it isn't a replacement for proper use of a table saw. And, like I said in an earlier message, if you truly believe you are 100% on your best, 100% of the time, well, you are a better man than I. All of the guys on the blog who were injured, all believed they knew, and practiced safe sawing. And, most of them admit that they now wish they had been using a SawStop. -- Blue skies.
